Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 165 Wolf Thief
There was no conversation throughout the night, and the two slept soundly until the sky gradually brightened, then they got up and washed.

After a simple breakfast, Wu Xuan did not purely pursue a large range of breath perception this time, but instead maximized the small range perception.

Only then did Wu Xuan discover some clues.

The villages and towns that have been slaughtered and destroyed by the Wolf Bandits will still have the aura of those disgusting guys. This is why Wu Xuan's aura perception is somewhat impaired.

After determining their location, Wu Xuan called them to the nearest area, which was exactly where Wu Xuan had sensed the most intense fluctuations in aura.

"Howl~!" The violent howls of wolves rang out one after another.

"Brothers, hold on! Think about your families and don't let these beasts go." The leader raised his gun and shouted angrily.

Hearing the captain's roar, the soldiers who were originally unable to hold on burst out with unparalleled strength again.

The miserable howls of the wild wolves and the indomitable roars of the soldiers shook the whole area.

After a bloody battle, only a dozen of the original thirty-man squad, including the captain, were still standing. This was a bitter victory.

"Damn it! This is so weird. Even beasts can ambush and attack. Fifty or sixty beasts caused me to lose nearly twenty elite soldiers. They deserve to die." The team leader put down the second-level soul guide spear in his hand that was stained with the blood of the wolf thieves, and cursed with gritted teeth.

"Adjutant Qi, what should we do next?" asked a soldier.

"Let you take a breath first, and then we will meet up with Captain Dai." The team leader also sat down on the ground.

“Howl~!!”

But before the dozen or so remaining people could catch their breath, a wolf howl was heard, and another small group of wolf thieves rushed over howling.

"Damn it, why are there still wolf bandits nearby? Line up, line up!!" the team leader shouted loudly.

Just as the squad leader and the dozen or so remaining soldiers were determined to fight to the death.

A gust of strong wind suddenly rushed into the sky and directly swept away the wolf bandit who was attacking a dozen people.

The hurricane dissipated, revealing a tall figure wearing dark green leather armor.

The figure raised his hand slightly, and in the next second, nearly a hundred wind blades appeared out of thin air, which directly skinned alive nearly forty wolf bandits who were scattered in the air.

Such a bloody scene stunned more than a dozen Xingluo soldiers, including the team leader.

"Don't be so surprised. We never hold back when dealing with those damn beasts." Xiao Xiao's somewhat cold voice brought a dozen Xing Luo soldiers back to their senses instantly.

Looking at the clothes worn by the figures beside him and not far away, the team leader seemed to have thought of something and instantly danced with excitement. "It's the soul master from the Shrek Supervisory Group. Shrek has come to help us."

"Thank you, Soul Master of the Supervisory Corps, for saving our lives." More than a dozen Xingluo soldiers bowed in unison. The feeling of surviving a disaster was truly comforting.

Wu Xuan waved his hand and said with a heavy face: "What is the current situation? Why are these wolf bandits so weak? Their strength is like that of wild beasts that have just become soul beasts."

Upon hearing this, the team leader's face turned bitter, and he said with difficulty, "To be honest, sir, a week ago, this group of wolf bandits was just a small-scale operation, with no more than fifty of them. However, their strength was truly terrifying, with nearly half of them possessing the strength of a thousand-year soul beast."

"Half of them possess the strength of a thousand-year-old soul beast? It seems that the origin of this group of wolf thieves is not simple." Xiao Xiao murmured on the side.

"That lord is right. Marshal Baihu agrees. He even dispatched a team of elite spirit masters, and had the eldest son lead them to eliminate the wolf bandits. However, before they could completely eliminate them, only seven or eight days later, hundreds of low-level wolf bandits of varying sizes began to rob people in the villages and towns surrounding Xingguang City. With no other choice, he had to send us to round them up and eliminate them."

The eldest son? Could it be Dai Yaoheng? Wu Xuan and Xiao Xiao exchanged a glance, their minds already forming a conclusion.

The team leader's eyes were filled with frustration as he spoke, "We just never imagined that such low-level, beast-like wolf bandits would actually ambush and attack, waiting for us to tire out. We suffered a great loss." Wu Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, and his tone was cold as he said, "It seems that the manipulation methods of the person behind the scenes are extraordinary! But these methods are truly despicable."

"Then what should we do next? Should we continue searching for the other ordinary wolf thieves?" Xiao Xiao looked at Wu Xuan and said.

"To catch a thief, we must first catch the leader. I plan to go straight to the person behind this." Wu Xuan said in a low voice.

"But the person behind the scenes is too cunning. We have no clues to search for." Xiao Xiao said helplessly.

"I have some clues. Now it depends on how to investigate." Wu Xuan said calmly as he looked at the corpses of wolf bandits all over the ground.

Upon hearing this, the team leader stepped forward and said respectfully, "Two Lord Overseers, why don't you come with me to reunite with the eldest young master? He's been tracking down the person behind this for nearly two weeks, so he must have important information. Furthermore, our eldest young master just graduated from your academy, so it's very likely that he and you are old acquaintances."

"Is that so! In that case, I really have to go and meet him. Then lead the way." Wu Xuan nodded. It was always better to have ready-made intelligence than to investigate it slowly by the two of them.

"."

"Young Master! According to the latest battle report, the various inspection teams have captured nearly four hundred wolf bandits." A White Tiger guard dressed as a messenger reported anxiously.

"I've already told you that in the army you should address me by my rank. Call me Captain Dai." Dai Yaoheng, a tall man with a sharp gaze, said in a low voice.

"Yes! Captain Dai." The messenger bowed.

"With the loss of nearly four hundred low-level wolf bandits, is there any trace of that damn evil soul master?" Dai Yueheng asked.

"There is still no trace of him. Ever since the evil soul master lost his arm in your hands to survive, he suffered a great loss and has not dared to show his head for more than ten days." The messenger said admiringly.

"These rats in the sewers are really disgusting. Keep sending out scouts, expand the search area, and dig three feet deep to find them." Dai Yuheng roared, and with one grab, he broke the big tree in half.

"Yes! I'll arrange it right away." The messenger's heart tightened and he turned and left.

"A mere evil soul master at the Soul King level has delayed me for more than half a month. Damn it." Dai Yuheng gritted his teeth and cursed.

"Hey! Senior Dai, why are you so angry? It's not good for your health if you get angry." A slightly teasing voice suddenly sounded.

"Enemy attack!" With a loud shout, the White Tiger guards around Dai Yueheng quickly lined up and took attacking stances.

"Slow down!" Hearing the familiar voice, Dai Yuheng waved his hand to stop the White Tiger Guards in formation.

Wu Xuan's figure floated down and said with a smile, "Senior Dai, long time no see."

"Wu Xuedi! It's really you. Long time no see." Dai Yuheng stepped forward and said excitedly. Although Wu Xuan was wearing a mask, he still recognized the man at first sight.

As they spoke, the two shook hands with each other.

"Senior Dai, it's really you. It's only been two years since we last met, and you've already become a captain. Congratulations." Xiao Xiao, who was one step behind Wu Xuan, stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Stop flattering me, junior. This time, the wolf bandits are making me worried to death." Dai Yuheng sighed.

"Is it really that difficult? Senior, you are an inner court student who has completed more than 30 monitoring tasks!" Xiao Xiao said in surprise.

Dai Yuheng sighed upon hearing this and said helplessly, "I really can't do anything with this evil soul master this time. That guy is too good at hiding."
